TL;DRAbstract

Decomposition of alkaline trichloroethylene refluxing under nitrogen took place rapidly on mild steel surfaces but only slowly in the presence of aluminum or cupronickel. Several inhibitors delayed onset of decomposition on mild steel but had little effect on the course of reaction once it had begun. Surface treatment of the steel also delayed but did not prevent onset of reaction. Of methods of trenting contaminated plant, the most effective was exposure to hot aqueous sodinm carbonate solution.
